What is Endometriosis?
 Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, grows in other sites in the pelvis, such as the ovaries, bladder, bowel and fallopian tubes.
Blood filled cysts may form on the ovaries. These patches of tissue respond to hormones in the same way as the uterine lining, growing and shedding each cycle, and can be responsible for pain, inflammation, and infertility. It is thought that it may not be the bleeding that causes the pain, but a chemical reaction in the endometrial implants that irritates the lining of the pelvis.
Symptoms:
* Intense period pain, or pain after a period
* Bloating, constipation, diarrhea - IBS
* Infertility
* Pain with sexual intercourse
* Heavy menstrual bleeding
* Lower backache
Pain is usually the major debilitating factor associated with endometriosis. The use of herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation along with specific dietary changes can make an improvement and make day to day living easier for women with endometriosis.
Your personal consultation will determine the steps you need to make to improve your health and reduce the severity of your symptoms.
